Healthy aging key? Experts suggest that the best solution to avoid aging and weakening is...

People who enter the period of old age can be roughly divided into two categories. One is caused by low lifestyle and weakening due to low lifestyle and weakening of physical function, while the other is caused by dementia or low body function after the age of 80. The former mainly belongs to medical subjects, while the latter mainly belongs to long-term care subjects.

Comparing the data of medical expenses and long-term care costs, this trend can be seen better. All local administrative agencies in Japan have relevant information on medical and long-term licenses of the people. After analyzing these information, more clear results can be obtained.

The main cost of those who entered the period of old age before the age of 75 is medical expenses rather than long-term care expenses. As for others, medical expenses do not occur when they are over 60s, but as they grow older, medical expenses also increase.

People who have a habit of living and enter the sluggish period early in their geria will have a surge in their long-term care expenses after they are over 80 years old. Others hardly use long-term care fees before the age of 80, and long-term care fees will slowly begin to increase after the age of 80.

This study is a data obtained by researcher Taniguchi Yoshi's long-term follow-up of 2,700 people. Because it is the first global data published, it has attracted much attention.

The two main causes that affect health and well-being are "disease" and "aging". Whether it is "disease" or "aging", it will consume health functions and cause a period of senility.

To prevent diseases is to prevent habitual diseases and cancer, brain wind, heart disease and kidney disease. Preventing aging is to prevent dementia and sports disorders.

From the dietary relationship, if you want to prevent habitual diseases in life, you must avoid taking too much fat, eat more vegetables, and maintain a balanced nutrition. The point is to not be too fat.

On the other hand, if you want to prevent aging, you need to eat enough protein and fat, and pay attention to a balanced diet. The point is to not be too thin.

It is not relevant for older people to have a slightly heavier body weight. They should eat various different ingredients in their diet, which can prevent dementia and deterioration of waist and leg function.

The focus of preventing disease is to "avoid obesity" and the focus of preventing aging is to "avoid excessive weight". The two seem contradictory, but the common focus is "balanced diet". Just like the nutritional balanced diet I introduced at the beginning of this book.

People with high aging cannot lose weight

Since 1987, the Tokyo Institute of Health and Health Center has jointly conducted a continuous study with the University of Michigan in the United States and many universities in Japan. One of the researchers, Yoshi Murayama (currently a special lecturer of the comprehensive research organization of the advanced society at Tokyo University) used this research data to investigate the changes in BMI values. To put it simply, it is to study whether the long-term weight change of high-age people will become fat or lose weight.

The research results show that there is a big difference between the United States and Japan

The fat people in Japan have almost no changes in BMI over the long term, while people with standard values ​​and thinners tend to become thinner.

Higher people in the United States have a tendency to become slightly thinner, while fat people have a tendency to get fatter.

This study caused a very big repercussion after it was published in the American Epidemics Journal.

BMI has an overweight weight of around 28, and their weight has remained unchanged over the years. The BMI is around 25, and 27% of people are slightly fatter than the standard. As they age, their body weight will decrease. 44% of the standard weight with a BMI of around 22 account for the 44% and the weight also decreases with aging. 24% of people with a BMI of less than 20 (overly thin) account for, and the older these people are, the lighter their weight becomes.

The distribution of BMI in Japanese is very different from that in Americans. Japanese are thinner and become thinner after entering old age.

There is such a big gap between the United States and Japan that Americans should pay attention to obesity problems, but in comparison, Japanese people can no longer lose weight.
